Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a facsimile system having a paper saving function, and more particularly relates to a method for saving print paper in a facsimile system by overlapping a transmit terminal identification (TTI) with real document data.
  • TTI transmit terminal identification
  • a conventional facsimile system has a capability of sending information such as transmit terminal identification (TTI) for identifying the terminal from which the facsimile transmission is made, to other communication terminals according to a pre-transmission procedure.
  • TTI transmit terminal identification
  • TTI information is added at the head or upper end portion of the page to be transmitted after conversion to an image formation.
  • the TTI information is made only to restricted communication terminals which are registered in a memory in order to prevent undesirable transmission of the TTI information to unwanted communication terminals.
  • '686 discloses a facsimile system for saving consumption of print paper by the contraction-printing in the longitudinal direction of the print paper.
  • Uetama et al. '421 seeks to print the original while omitting the unrequited data portion such as the margin of the original in order to conserve print paper. While the conventional facsimile system has several paper saving functions, I have noted that farther improvement to conserve print paper can be still contemplated.
  • TTI terminal identification
  • Each pixel data of the accessed image data of the first region is logically added to the corresponding pixel data of the accessed image data of the second region.
  • the additions are sequentially stored into the third region of the second print buffer.
  • the controller further generates an additional address so as to access the remainder obtained by subtracting the overlapped print length from the second region.
  • the substantial content of the received document is stored into the fourth region of the second print buffer.
  • a method for printing in a frugal way to save ordinary print paper from unnecessary loss in a facsimile machine which specifies the effective print length for a sheet of the print paper comprises the steps of receiving one sheet data, determining whether the amount of the received one sheet data exceeds the effective print length, determining whether the effective print length is greater than the sum of a predetermined length of the TTI region and the length of the substantial content of the received one sheet data if the amount of the received one sheet data exceeds the effective print length, and printing the received one sheet data with the TTI overlapping the upper margin of the effective print length if the effective print length is greater than or equal to the sum of the predetermined length of the TTI region and the length of the substantial content of the received one sheet data.
  • FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a facsimile system constructed according to the principles of the al present invention
  • FIG. 2A is a schematic illustration of a typical transmitted document
  • FIG. 2B is a schematic illustration of a print paper of the transmitted document having an upper end portion printed with transmit terminal identification region information
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B are schematic illustrations of substantial content of a transmitted document fully included in the effective print length of a sheet of print paper;
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B are schematic illustrations of a transmitted document having the content length of L6 and the transmit terminal identification region length of L7 compared to the received print having the effective print length L8 and the upper and lower margins L2 and L3;
  • FIG. 5 is a flow chart for controlling a normal or reduced printing of a received document in an exemplary facsimile system
  • FIGS. 6A and 6B are schematic illustrations of a transmitted document and the received print according to the principles of the present invention.
  • FIGS. 7A, 7B and 7C are schematic diagrams of storage patterns of memories constructed according to the principles of the present invention.
  • FIG. 8 is a flow chart for controlling a method for printing in a frugal way to save ordinary print paper from unnecessary loss in a facsimile system according to the principles of the present invention.

  • the controller 111 is connected to a memory 119 which contains a program memory such as a ROM (not shown) which stores programs for controlling the general operation of the facsimile is system in either one of a transmission mode, a reception mode and a copy mode, and a data memory such as a RAM (not shown) which temporarily stores various information.
  • a paper saving program for performing a print paper saving function of a facsimile system as contemplated by the present invention is stored in the program memory of memory 119.
  • Memory unit including a first printer buffer and a second printer buffer for storing print paper information as contemplated by the present invention is stored in the data memory of memory 119.
  • the controller 111 includes therein an address generation circuit (not shown) for generating addresses to access the memory 119 and a logic circuit (not shown) for controlling the paper saving program.
  • the operational panel (OPE) 112 comprises a key input unit and a display unit.
  • the key input unit of the operational panel 112 generates key data to the controller 111, when pressed by a user for designating each mode of operation and the operation of the designated mode.
  • the display unit of the OPE 112 displays data indicative of the designated mode of operation of the facsimile system while performing each mode.
  • the sensor 113 senses whether a document is input into the facsimile system, or whether a copy paper is stored, and generates a sensed signal to the controller 111.
  • the scanner 114 includes a charge coupled device (CCD) for scanning an image of the input document and then generating image data corresponding to the scanned image.
  • CCD charge coupled device
  • the image processor 115 processes the image data output from the scanner 114 and from the modem 117 in order to generate processed image data for either transmission via a telephone line or copy during the copy mode under control of the controller 111, and processes the image signal received from the telephone line during the reception mode.
  • the image processor 115 distinguishes the image data received from the scanner 114 into background and text or generates an image data of intermediate contrast so as to make the received image almost the same as the original image.
  • the printer 116 prints the image data received from the image processor 115 on a printable medium such as individual sheets of print paper during the reception mode and the copy mode under the control of the controller 111.
  • the modem 117 modulates the image data output from the image processor 115 into a modulated image signal for transmission, and duplicates the image signal inputs to the image processor 115 during the reception mode under the control of the controller 111.
  • the network control unit (NCU) 118 is connected with the telephone line to form transmission and reception paths for the modem 117 under the control of the controller 111.
  • the paper saving program contained in the controller 111 to execute the inventive method is described later with reference to FIG. 8, with memories including storage regions as shown in FIG. 7.
  • FIGS. 2A and 2B illustrate a document from a transmitting facsimile system and a print out of the transmitted document at a receiving transmitting system having the TTI information printed at the upper end portion of a print paper.
  • the facsimile systems are those that use a print paper in a paper roll, there, is no danger to lose a part of the content of the transmitted document, but the cost prohibition remains.
  • FIGS. 3A and 3B illustrate the substantial content of a transmitted document which is fully included in an effective print length of a print paper obtained by subtracting the upper and lower margins from the whole length of the print paper.
  • "XXX" indicates the starting position of the content of a transmitted document.
  • a sheet of standard size print paper which is printed with the full content of the transmitted document in the effective print length L5 having the upper and lower margins L2 and L3 and the TTI region L4.
  • FIGS. 4A and 4B illustrate a transmitted document having the content length of L6 and the TTI length of L7 (FIG. 4A) compared to the received print having the effective print length L8 and the upper and lower margins L2 and L3 (FIG. 4B).
  • the whole length L ⁇ of the transmitted document including the substantial content L6 and TTI information L7 is reduced to print in the effective print length L8.
  • the TTI information is part of the transmitted document for convenience's sake as shown in FIG. 4A.
  • FIG. 5 illustrates a program for controlling the normal or reduced print of the received document in a typical facsimile system.
  • the facsimile system determines whether the length of one sheet of image data received is greater than the effective print length L8 at step 5B. If L ⁇ is not greater then L8, the entire content of the transmitted document is printed on one sheet of print paper at step SE. If the one sheet of image data L ⁇ is determined to be greater than the sum of the effective print length L8 and an optional value "K" at step 5C, the received one sheet data is controlled to print the entire content on two sheets of the print paper at step 5F. Otherwise, the received one sheet data L ⁇ is reduced to the effective print length L8 to print the entire content on one sheet of print paper at step 5D. However, such a reduced print may degrade the picture quality.
  • FIGS. 6A and 613 illustrate a transmitted document and a received print according to the principles of the present invention. If the whole length L61+L62 of the content of a received document is greater than the effective print length L5 of a single sheet of print paper, the received document is printed with the TTI information overlapping the upper margin L62.
  • FIG. 6A illustrates an original document
  • FIG. 613 illustrates a single sheet of print paper where the upper margin of the original document is overlapped by the TTI information in the upper marginal region L4.
  • the TTI information is illustrated as a part of the transmitted document for convenience's sake as shown in FIG. 4A.
  • FIG. 7A illustrates a data memory of memory 119 for storing the overlapped print length, the effective print length, etc. predetermined by means of the OPE 112.
  • FIG. 7B illustrates a first printer buffer including a first second and third regions AA, BB and CC for respectively storing the L7, L61 and L62 as shown in FIG. 6A.
  • FIG. 7C illustrates a second printer buffer including the fourth and fifth regions CC and EE for respectively storing the L4 and L5 as shown in FIG. 6B.
  • Each pixel data of the first region AA is logically added to with the corresponding pixel data of the second region BB through OR gate, so that the added data are stored in the fourth region DD.
  • the data of the third region CC are transferred correspondingly to the fifth region EE.
  • one sheet of image data L ⁇ as shown in FIG. 6a is received from a remote communication system at step 8A.
  • the controller 11 1 determines whether the image data L ⁇ is greater than the effective print length L8 at step 8B. If the image data L ⁇ is not greater than the effective print length L8, the controller 111 controls the printer 116 to print the received image on a single sheet of print paper at step 8E. If the image data L ⁇ is greater than the effective print length L8, however, the controller 111 next determines whether the effective print length L8 is greater than or equal to the sum of the predetermined length L4 of TTI region and the length L61 of the substantial content of the received document at step 8C.
  • the controller 111 divides the received image data to be printed on two successive sheets of print paper and prints the divided image data on two successive sheets of print paper at step 8F. Otherwise, the received image data is printed on a single sheet of print paper with the upper margin L62 overlapped by the TTI L7 at step 8D. In this case, the length L7 is predetermined substantially the same as the length L62.
  • the inventive overlapping technique may combined with the conventional reducing technique to achieve a more effective saving of the print paper.
